Louis Romégoux - In My Room

Milou EP:

Recorded with a collection of musicians from around the UK featuring Thom Mills (Skinny Lister/Ed Prosek) on drums and Paul Riley (Etches/The Random Family) on bass. Milou is a combination of Louis' folk inspired songwriting and a furious and fast paced band set up where the two worlds collide with one another in spectacular style, spawning what we can only describe as 'garage folk'. With help and arrangement from Producer Charlie McClean the record has been honed to perfection and we could not be more excited to present the music at a special one off event at Walkley Community Centre, Sheffield on Sunday 4th May 2014.

I Wander As I Wander (Traditional)

In a foreign land,
a boat is rocking 
on the shoreline 
between the land and the sea

He raises his head
towards the endless nothing
a cormorant's cry
rings out in the fading dusk

Strawberry moon, they don’t know her like I do, like I do

He moors on the reef
his brow is heavy 
the water beneath
is grey aquamarine

Will she return
when the days they darken
or have the bridges now burned
are the good days forgotten

strawberry moon, they don’t love her like I do, like I do

A pondering man,
is a useless wanderer
if all he achieves 
is an anthology of dust

he gains through the days,
and the nights of leisure
cause pleasure’s no arbiter 
of self-worth and the truth

strawberry moon, they don’t need her like I do, like I do

I’ve seen you in my dreams
I’ve seen you in the night
yet my doubts are automatic

a year abroad, 
some metropolis in the west
the boy he searches for an answer

I crave you like the blood
that runs through both our veins
the outcome is systematic

I need you in my arms,
I need to feel your skin,
I need to put my doubts asunder

cause I’ve seen you in my dreams,
I’ve seen you in the night,
yet my doubts are automatic

strawberry moon, strawberry moon

Louis Romégoux is a musician and songwriter based in Elsecar, South Yorkshire. A born and bred Sheffielder of French/Welsh heritage, he returned, mid-pandemic, from Austria where he spent the last decade extensively gigging the bars, concert halls and festivals of Central and Southern Europe. His music encapsulates traditional folk in its free form, with influences from French chanson, to jangly indie and classic 60s orchestral pop.

Growing up in a family with a rich musical and comic heritage (his great-uncle was founding BBC Goon Show member and the late Welsh musical great – Sir Harry Secombe) and a former cathedral chorister, Louis is a classically-trained singer equally at home with German Lieder or free improvised jazz vocalisations. He has worked with a multitude of different genres and composers, from musical adaptations of Malcolm Lowry’s poetry with Alfred Polansky in Vienna, to gigging his own music at venues such as Ronnie Scott’s in London, to more recent projects such as writing and performing songs for a performance of Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ with the Hey Up Theatre company in 2021. Having enjoyed successes with tours as a teenager during Sheffield’s blossoming music scene in the mid 2000s, he has opened for and toured with many artists over a 20 year career in the UK and central Europe, including Slow Club, Teddy Thompson, Reverend and the Makers, Balthazaar, The Veils, John Smith, The Midsommars and Broadlahn. Festival appearances include Tramlines (UK), Sound of the Forest (Germany), Lendwirbel (Austria) and Riba Rocks (Spain). This year he is one of the singers in The Sheffield Beatles Project and will be performing songs from ‘Abbey Road’ including many other favourites at The Octagon in December 2025.
